As I said, no system appearances from now on, till the end of this fic.
Should I write more about his childhood years or nah? Comment it, people.
And do tell me about if you want him to be Yuki's student or not....If no one chooses, I'll default it to >Yes.
Also about love interest.....choose it among yourselves.

(Todo's POV)
15th October, 2006. Todo's inherited house.
It's still surprising how I'm in a fictional character's body now. I could say that I've adapted enough to regain most of my motor controls from my previous life.
And the best part is that I learned Japanese....My new mom taught me most of it, before she died....
And today is her first death anniversary, I have to go to the cemetery to honor her today....She truly believed I was her son after all....The least I can do was honor her memory.
Pneumonia along with kidney failure....she was so unlucky.
Sigh.... I get a new loving mother, who helps me come in touch with reality, with her overwhelming love and now she dies as well, just because she took more care of me than herself. I should've told her to take care of herself more...
I cried like a little bitch when that happened....Perhaps I had started loving her, but I guess it was too late....
Life sure is shitty for this World's todo, which is funnily, me.
*Clap*
I replace the wet towel in front of me with some clothes. I then proceed to wear the tattered clothes, which consisted of a single black undershirt and simple green shorts.
I only had a few pair of these in this house, since my family wasn't rich per se...
The only reason I eat and drink properly is due to my uncle, who so graciously comes to this house everyday to give me food and water.
Well, it's not really due to the goodness of his heart, since he did obtain most of the inheritance my family left me, which wasn't much anyway.....And well, leaving a child of your brother to die alone would leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth....
Even if he didn't come along, I could most likely go and steal money with my CT (Cursed Technique)....not like I could earn it myself, since I was a damn kid....
*Clap*
I clap again as I replace myself and the handkerchief I usually leave in the living room.
This innate technique, Boogie Woogie, that I inherited from birth, was quite useful in many ways. And the fact that no matter how many times I use it, I don't feel much change in my cursed energy level is a plus...
('Our' Aoi Todo CE level : a bit less than 15 fingered sukuna
Yuta with Rika CE level : about 17 fingered sukuna
The rise in the no.of fingers is not directly proportional to the amount of cursed energy. It's a direct upward curve. Like, 19 fingered sukuna would have more than 3 times Yuta's level of CE. Or even more.
So, Yuta with Rika has quite a bit more than our Todo, currently.
Manga version Todo didn't even have close to 2 fingered sukuna's CE.)
(The only reason Todo could spam his Boogie Woogie is cuz it took abysmally low amount of CE. Besides, 5 fingered sukuna had more CE than almost all of jjk characters. [Only in terms of the amount of CE])
I learned to use my Cursed Technique myself, with the help of trial and error. I mean, I'm probably the worst at using Cursed energy right now, but oh well, at least it allows me to use my technique....
In this world, Gege mentioned that the usage of cursed techniques depends on the interpretation of the user, and that's pretty much true since I can literally use Boogie Woogie while stomping my foot on the ground and creating some sort of noise....I'm trying to make an even further assessment and make it easier to activate, but I'm currently stuck with this interpretation.... I feel like I'm doing something wrong...
Anyway, using my foot to activate Boogie Woogie takes too much cursed energy....I tried it for about a dozen hours yesterday in my room, and it made me quite tired, meaning my CE levels went to near 5%....at near 0%, I basically become unable to move. It should be rectified by training....hopefully....
And that's saying a lot, considering the humongous amount of cursed energy I have and how little Boogie Woogie is normally supposed to use.
The most limiting part for me right now is that, the things I'm substituting should have some semblance of similar mass or weight...
The lowest I've gone is switching myself with my handkerchief. And due to this, I've noticed that switching familiar things is easier compared to unfamiliar things.....this gives me quite a few ideas.
.
Anyway, I put on my shoes and lock the door from outside. I throw the key in my pocket and start walking along the road, towards the cemetery. My uncle doesn't bother coming to my mom's death anniversary and only tags along in my father's one, so this time around, I was alone.
The biggest perk of having Todo's body is the definitely the quality of his brain. I believed that everyone's brain was equal and it depends on how you use it, but after experiencing a transmigration and being born with a different brain, I could say it's all bullshit.
Like, seriously, I can't explain the amount of thoughts, information and memories I can store in here. it's almost like a computer, more specifically, a supercomputer, like how the manga version of Todo described it.
This was how I was able to think of so many things while doing menial tasks. And this was also the reason why I quickly adjusted to being replaced, spacially, with some object, given that it's not too far and not in a completely different spacial arrangement. Otherwise it would make my head spin....I am still getting the hang of it, so it'll take time.
Most novels and fanfic MC's with the same situation as me, describe how their they started training when they were just babies, or just 2 year olds. But, it wasn't true at all.
Seriously, before I was 4, I wasn't even able to form coherent thoughts. Whatever my mom was doing, whatever I felt, it all passed by in a flash until some fateful day.
I just opened my eyes on that day and started being 'me'....It was honestly a weird sensation....
And from that day on, I started trying to take control over my motor functions like speaking and walking, while simultaneously learning Japanese, WHILE drowning myself in my mother's love, while trying to adjust to this new reality....
It was hard, but in the end, at 6.7 years of age, I can finally do whatever normal human beings could do, and use Boogie Woogie at this level....I'm honestly proud of what I achieved....Well, I feel I could've done even more, but meh...
Even after all that, I wasn't able to get the hang of applying cursed energy to reinforce my physical body. I normally just threw whatever cursed energy was generated by my negative emotions to my cursed technique, and it worked, but doing the same on my body didn't seem to work.....It was almost as if my cursed technique was a part of my body that only worked when I willed it to, while feeding it with enough cursed energy. Like an Organ, that needs CE instead of blood.
I was definitely doing something wrong, but since I was still a kid, and couldn't really go and find some mentor at this age, or go to a jujutsu high, I was kinda stuck....
My only options right now were, to either wish I was lucky enough to encounter Yuki like the original Todo, or make a plan to find some other mentor, which may or may not work.
The last and final option is to train myself, which would probably not be as effective as getting guidance, but, it's simpler than the other options.
Most of these options could only work when I become older, so thinking too much about them will just be a wastage of time.
.
I finally arrived at the cemetery, and walked inside while being quite and respectful to others here.
Last time I came here, I made a bit of noise, which made some of the old people here mad. And due to me being in a more traditional side of Japan, I was spanked on the butt and had to apologise to all of the elders and 'spirits' I disturbed.
I was quite aghast at the violence, but I quickly adapted and learned to be more respectful around these types of places. I didn't have any 'revenge' in mind, like a Chinese protagonist, since it was simply dumb to be mad at old, traditional people.
And when I thought about it, it made sense why they reacted that way. First of all, it's in their culture to use such punishments to educate young kids. And secondly, I could understand the anger. I mean, if you truly believed that your loved one is resting peacefully in his grave, and suddenly a random kid comes along, making irritating noises, it'd make anyone angry.
Well, the final reason was, I could see the kindness in their eyes as they punished me. And after that punishment, they made me sit with them and taught me what to do and what not to do in these kind of places. It was honestly heart warming.
This just shows how thinking with a calm and serene mind can allow people to see the real truth....Meh, I'm going deep into philosophy with this one. I should focus on the task at hand....
.
I finally come up to my mother's grave and flinched. I could see a small grotesque figure resting on top of her tombstone....At max, looking at it's size and manga references, it's most likely a grade 4 or grade 3 cursed spirit...It's in the form of an insect....sigh...should I run, or should I try to kill it?...I'm just a kid right now, with less than a teenager's physical strength....I don't really have any way to vanquish it, since I can't use CE to enhance my attacks...
I could see a few more of these grotesque figures on other tombstones as well.
Besides, it doesn't look like it could harm me with it's small physique....it could have poison though....idk...
Whatever, better safe than sorry.
*CLAP*
